You may also want to consider a cannabis-infused topical to ease your pain. -- though there are many more cannabis topicals on the market that you may find helpful. My partner has a bulging disc in his lower back that he's been applying Farmaceuticals' High CBD balm on--and he's found pain relief with that particular product. Of course, it all depends on your biochemistry, whether a high CBD topical is what you need. There are different ratios of CBD to THC available on the market, and you may need to experiment to see which is most effective for you.

With that said look for Blueberry Headband strain in edibles, tinctures, topicals, oils, transdermal patches, concentrates (Wax/Shatter/Batter/Sauce/Live Resin/Crystals), or flower.

For pain I have been taking vicoden am up to taking three 7.5 vicoprofin and a 10 mg vicoden these are spread over an entire 24 hrs as my neck back and hips hurt so bad I cant stay asleep because of pain. I used to smoke pot which is legal in oregon and when I did I was taking on average 3 5mg vicoin a day and sometimes less. But since I moved the clinic I go to has a no pot policy... So they upped my pain meds..My regular Dr. left and now the new one is saying I basically don't need my clonopin which saved my life as I got to the point my panic and aniexty stopped me from living life at all. She is also threatening to take my pain meds away. I am livid honestly without them I couldn't walk 5 miles a day and do the simple things that consist of living. Can I stop the pain meds and smoke pot without the withdrawl I read about stopping the vicoden? help\n\"\n_____________________\nI'm terribly sorry for your current situation.  Using med cann to help pt's wean off opiates &/or benzodiazepines has been done by myself and the other HelloMD MD's.  Usually a slow, gradual course is done.  For example, if you are using opiates on schedule tid/ thrice daily, then try exchanging one of the doses with only-cannabis products (with opiates on hand for \"breakthrough\" pain just in case).  Once you find the proper mg cannabis dosage, one can slowly move towards \"cannabis only\" days for analgesia &/or for anxiety/ PTSD mgmt, thereby freeing you from the potential psych dependency/ abuse risk seen with both opiates and benzodiazepines when both of these classes of meds are used day-in/ day-out.  To increase the likelihood of success, it is also imperative that you are performing CBT talk therapy or something related,  mindfulness/ meditation work daily, daily mild exercise, and also PT for a truly holistic multi-modal treatment program  for your anxiety/ PTSD/cervicalgia/ lumbago. Good Luck!\n\ndrpark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8615-markdown","title":"Looking for a medical marijuana to help with chronic back pain for my 72 year old father. ","slug":"looking-for-a-medical-marijuana-to-help-with-chronic-back-pain-for-my-72-year-old-father","content":"\"He has arthritis, a degenerstive building disc, and spinal stenosis. He’s not a candidate for Surgery due to age, Parkinson’s, and diabetes. Tried many other forms of pain management and nothing is working.\"\n_____________________\nIt's hard to see a family member suffer, especially if you feel you are out of options. Fortunately, cannabis is known to help with chronic pain and there are many different methods of consumption that you may try, and many that do not produce a psychoactive high. I am not a doctor, but I can tell you what other children of elderly parents have told me as well as what seniors have directly communicated about their experience.\n\nif your father is not a cannabis consumer I would start with non psychoactive products. I am not against THC, as it is a powerful pain reliever, but CBD may help on its own and it is non psychoactive. \n\nAn 81 year old that had intense chronic pain for years recently told me high CBD cookies stopped his pain in its tracks. @moonmans has a high CBD cookie you can purchase in California. Another form of cannabis to try is the transdermal patch. They can be a ratio of CBD to THC such as 1:1 and be quite effective as well. There are many products on the market for this as well. \n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nContinuing my answer... transdermal patches are time released. The other product you may wish to try would be a cannabis topical which provides localized relief. \n\nIf your father is willing to try THC/CBD for pain, vaping flower or oil cartridges can be highly effective for pain and provide immediate relief. I would start low and slow with anything that has THC. I find high CBD ratios such as ACDC or Canna Tsu can give me immediate relief. I hope this helps!\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nWe just published a roundup of the top Q&As on chronic pain--2 of which talk specifically to back pain. Answers were given by a brand expert as well as 2 doctors, including our very own chief medical officer. According to Dr. Frye, \"A variety with a 1:1 ratio of THC:CBD maximizes the analgesic, muscle-relaxing, and anti-inflammatory activity, reduces anxiety, and elevates the mood. Patients who use this ratio remain clear minded, focused, and productive without feeling high or stoned. Topical cannabis salves and lotions are also very effective in reducing or eliminating pain.\" Hope this helps!\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nCBD is the right word for your father's issue. Marijuana is basicaly a drug which make anyone high.\nCBD is one of the compounds derived from the hemp plants.\n\nHere is the link I am sharing in which you can find how CBD can be benificial in pain management:\nhttps://www.whatiscbd.com/cannabidiol-cbd-pain-relief/\n\nsebastianwross","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_8550-markdown","title":"Recommendations for Insomnia & Back Pain","slug":"recommendations-for-insomnia-back-pain","content":"\"I'm very new to this and the options are overwhelming.  I simply want one edible candy for insomnia and another for back pain.  I'm not interested in getting high.  Thank you.\"\n_____________________\nHey there, I find the Kiva petra mints (which are only 2.5 mg per mint) work well in terms of helping me sleep through the night. I will increase my dose at bedtime to 2 mints (or 5 mg) during stressful times. I've also found success using the Kiva chocolate-covered blueberries (which are ~5 mg each), though I switched to the petra mints as I typically only need 2.5 mg to have a good night's sleep. As well, I've tried Kikokko's Tranquili-tea which contains 5 mg CBN and 3 mg THC--CBN is what makes you sleepy, and I found that I had a good night's sleep with it. As for back pain, here's an article you may want to read. The last of the strains in the list is ACDC, which is higher in CBD and lower in THC. I use it in vape form for my chronic migraine pain, and find it to be helpful (along with a 1:1 tincture).\n\nlyp\n_____________________\nTo completely avoid any feelings of being 'high', you can also consider cannabis-infused topicals for back pain. Here is a helpful link: \n\nLarry\n_____________________\nThis may sound strange, but cannabis suppositories seem to help me with lower back pain as well as menstrual issues. I have used Foria Relief many times and have found the pain relief to be fairly immediate and the overall sensation relaxing. Although they are high in THC, and I am VERY sensitive to THC, they are not psychoactive. For many, the idea of a suppository may be off putting, but I think this is one of the best methods of consumtpion when you don't want to get high and want pain relief. As I am very senstivie to THC, this has been a great way for me to take cannabis and not experience any negative side effects.
